How many cats have you got?


Hi Everyone,

I am just interested to know how many cats you have and whether you would get anymore?

I have 6 cats, all female along with 2 dogs. I took on two abandoned kittens this summer. One of the kittens was only 5 weeks old and dumped. She was found wandering. I had 4 cats and had rescued Alice my other kitten. When I went for her I saw Polly and fell in love with her. The lady who rehomes asked if I would take her and if so, the charity would waive the adoption fee and pay for her to be spayed. How could I not?!

People think I am mad having 6 cats but to be honest I dont really know I have them. They are all neutered, vaccd and wormed etc.

I have been in contact with a girl who homes cats in Lancashire and she sent me a pic of a little kitten. I would love to foster but I worry if 7 cats is too much.

Re: How many cats have you got?


I guess each person/household has their limit. I have 3 persians . . . not as high maintenance as you might think. I'd love more but not currently practical (2 small children, own business, living near main road meaning cats would have to be mainly indoors etc).

However if you feel that financially and emotionally/timewise you can take on another cat then why not?

Re: How many cats have you got?


I have 7 cats 5 moggies and 2 pedigrees. I am hankering after another pedigree as I have now got the showing bug but I think hubby may put his foot down as we also have 3 dogs, a rabbit, a tortoise and a horse!

I'd say if you have enough space, finances and time then go for it...do let us know what you decide

Re: How many cats have you got?


I think if you have the room the money and another cat would fit into your household but more importantly you want another then go for it. Each persn has their own limit be it a self imposed limit or imposed due to the situation they live in.

Edited as I have one cat not two my apologises.

Re: How many cats have you got?


I have 3 cats and a dog.
That's my limit, but only because I am very busy with work / family / Cats Protection etc.
I also foster rescue cats. (currently have 10, all inoutdoor pens)
If you have the room / time & very importantly the finaces to support another one.... go for it.
